Golden fish joined her friends. ...a crime. ...committed a crime. ...boy committed a crime. She didn`t know that he was a kidnapper. ...was a kidnapper. ...he was a kidnapper. ...know that he was a kidnapper.

Inst: -Now check your answers with partners ( show partners). You have 2 min. Check: Are you going to write? Will you talk just to your partner? As they were looking just for names it is not very important right now if they found all names correctly, no need to check it with the whole group, after the next exercise they will have a chance to check their answers.

Check: -Will you read quickly? -Will you look for these words or just words with the same meaning. DEMO!! -For example, who joined a political group? Patty. So, we are reading quickly, and we see "she became a member"... They will have about 2 min. Answers for these exercise will be on the door and walls, so students will get up and check. Inst: -And now to check your answers you need to get up and find them in the room, they have 1 min.

If they are not very willing to talk about it tell them about Ali Agaoglu and how he burnt a boat of his son and a story about my dog. Show them a part about anecdote, ask to choose 4-5 points that they would like to tell friends about and let them discuss in groups of three ( but change grouping!). They will have about 4 min.
